For some reason on my system (Windows XP 32-bit, Python 2.6) PyQt is able to display gifs perfectly when run in the python interpreter, but when I run it through py2exe, they no longer display.

I've tried everything I've googled: copying the gif DLLs from PyQt into an imageformats/ folder, done a setLibraryPaths to where the imageformat DLLs were, copied the setup file from http://wiki.wxpython.org/py2exe-python26 .

Nothing seems to work -- what on earth could I be doing wrong?
